Comparative Analysis of Flywheel under Conventional and Composite Materials

Abstract

This paper presents “COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FLYWHEEL UNDER
CONVENTIONAL AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS”. Our objective is to demonstrate the
application of composites over conventional materials like steel. Conventional engineering
materials like steel has high density due to which the inertia of the components are more.
Especially during rotations the forces are more due to higher mass. hence, this will give rise
to more vibrations due to high imbalance force. So this can be reduced by using composite
materials over conventional materials whose density is less and has higher strength to weight
ratio.
